China awards scholarships to 1,000 foreigners to learn Chinese language teaching



China announced Tuesday to award scholarships to 1,021 foreign
applicants for a master's program on Chinese language teaching, with
an aim to cultivate local teaching staff amid increasing overseas
demands for learning the language.



The foreigners, from more than 50 countries, promised to teach Chinese
for more than five years after they graduate from the master's program
carried out by 50 universities around China, including the Peking
University and the Beijing Normal University.



State Councilor Liu Yandong said at the award ceremony that the
scholarship was a new method to promote Chinese language and the
government would continue to push it forward.
